Yeah. This is why I don't bother coming to these forums anymore. People can have the truth shoved right in their faces and they'll deny reality. It's giving me an insight of what Trump supporters or Flat-earthers thought processes must be like to be confronted face to face with hard evidence - straight from the episodes themselves - with no alterations or commentary - just the episodes of the show and just go "Lalala this is not saying what you think it's saying. You're wrong! And dumb!"
So yeah sure. We're dumb for thinking that crassness and substance abuse have no place in Roddenberry's future. That the writers should actually watch a few episodes of Trek before they start calling "Disruptors" "guns" and start talking about pulling the trigger or trying to reintroduce poverty in 24th Century just so Picard could be shamed for having his family's vineyard...
In the end it's been said on this forum over and over and it changes nothing and convinces nobody. The same names will prop up again and again to mob anyone who dares disagree until they give up arguing and just leave. Rinse and repeat. And that's why I'm glad to be out of here...
I can't believe you got to this realization in only 37 posts.
I genuinely miss the guy but I kind of wish that he'd met Yuka.

Gene is dead.
Has been for a while.
New writers with a new audience get to tell new stories.
I don't know what to tell you.
It is not the same show.
Do you still want Superman unable to fly and fighting unnamed mad scientists and wife beaters?
Do you want Daredevil in Red and Yellow?
Absolutely agree, I personally want Star Trek to do and try new things, rather than stick to a status quo, that is what Star Trek is about, to explore not just new worlds, but new ideas.
"I think, when one has been angry for a very long time, one gets used to it. And it becomes comfortable like…like old leather. And finally… it becomes so familiar that one can't remember feeling any other way."

Wow. Who would have thought that long form fiction would change over 25+ years?
Clearly writing to the sensibilities of a different audience in a different era is happening.
